Kanji for articles

Hi! Um, well, so, sure, I can do requests, and I went and added kanji for the two articles you asked about - two things, however: 1. It seems that Shintomusoryu is the correct pronunciation (so I changed that part, but if you feel that Shindomusoryu is correct as well, maybe I was wrong, and you can fix it up again). 2. Imaizumi Shizuo's surname is Imaizumi, so it seems a bit weird that he is being called Shizuo Sensei - but if he IS called that, well, I can't really refute it then. :)

Cheers,

Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei Jodo

Hi. Please don't copy & paste articles, this will not bring the edit history along. Please use the move function (see the menue bar) instead. I fixed the Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei Jodo article for you. -- Chris 73 | Talk 11:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yagyu Shingan-ryu

Im going to revert until I have more info etc. I was going through recent edits looking for non-registered users that have auto replaced words or characters. I must admit this appears to be a mistake/oversight on my part --Sharonlees 17:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MA Userbox

Today, there was a merger of Category:Martial Artist Wikipedians into Category:Wikipedian martial artists. This resulted in a userbox {{User:TonyTheTiger/Userboxes/Martialartist}} being added to the category. This userbox is available to you. TonyTheTiger 20:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aikido

I just submitted the article for Featured Article status - great if you could provide a bit of help for the final push.Peter Rehse 03:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fred - I know you don't do aikido - just thought I'ld try to get a few people whose contributions and hence understanding of martial arts articles might help the final process especially dealing with suggestions from non-martial art editors. Just asking for keeping an eye out.Peter Rehse 01:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That I can do. I'll keep both eyes out. ;-). Fred26 04:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Promoter" instead of founder of Yagyu Shingan-ryu?

See Talk:Yagyu Shingan-ryu#Who was founder of Yagyū Shingan Ryū ? I have rewritten Yagyu Shingan-ryu and Araki Mataemon. --Bejnar 19:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries about SMR...

Sorry if the SMR comments seemed antagonistic! Just a note I made indescriminantly. No problems or worries here! Keep up the good work! :)

SMR

Just a couple points on form. There should be only one internal link per article - usually when the word first appears. There are some paragraphs where you have the same reference multiple times - again usually once per paragraph (Histroy section). But overall - it looks pretty good.Peter Rehse 02:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA status and Peer Review

I nominated Shinto Muso-ryu for GA status - you might want to watch for any comments that will invariably come up. Fail or pass the next step would be to submit it for Peer review. Also Kashima Shinden Jikishinkage-ryū has been submitted to Peer review - you might be interested in that process.Peter Rehse 03:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No sweat - I made a series of comments on both.Peter Rehse 08:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fred - I just cleared my Wikipedia watch list which was getting too long. With respect to the Shinto Muso Ryu article (also gone from the watch list), except for the external links in the Notable Practitioners section which should be converted to inline references, I think it is ready to be promoted. Just toss me a note when you think its ready and I will do the honors.Peter Rehse 09:20, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - there is a preference in wikipedia away from inline external links - they should be treated as references.Peter Rehse 00:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Iaido in popular culture

An editor has nominated Iaido in popular culture, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion.

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iaido in popular culture and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Kukishin Ryu side of things....

Hey there! Happy Spring!!! I am trying to put together some information on the Kukishin Ryu side of Wikipedia. I would really appreciate it if you would have a look. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukishinden_Ryu So far it is rough and I have only had time to put together the Takagi Ryu section....pointers appreciated!

re: Yagyū Shinkage-ryū

Hi there,

I notice you've had an interest in this article. It's on a cleanup list from 2005 and I would like to get it off that list. I broke the main sections into paragraphs and cleaned up the writing but there are still things that don't read well. I hesitate to make big changes in an article I know little about and was wondering if you could take a look at it and smooth it out a little. Thanks!--killing sparrows 04:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you help me write this article?

Hello,

I was wondering if you would be willing to help me write either Seikichi_Iha or Shorin-ryu_Shido-kan. Tkjazzer 21:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting the Kukishin ryu Article

Hi Fred! Kukishin Ryu I need some more help in getting the resources to appear at the bottom. They were working off the number tabs in the article, but now it seems they have gone missing. I would also like an format for putting some of my pictures into the page, that means I need a template similar to the one that you used for the SMR page...is there a link you can give me to find them?? (I am too lazy to look for them myself, plus you seem to know `whatcher-doin Can). Thanks! Many thanks,

Tenjin Shinyo ryu

Great addition to the the Tenjin Shinyo-ryu article! That kind of thing really makes a visual difference. Best, Matt --Mateo2006 01:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking at the Box with a list of Ko-ryu schools in it again. Should the Kukishin school really be shown with this very early date? My apologies if this is something that people have gone over to death already. I'm still of the understanding that the Kashima Shinto ryu and katori Shinto Ryu or the schools who arguably have the longest veriable lineage. - I'm not making an assertion here but merely trying to gather new information from you. : ) Thanks, matt--Mateo2006 21:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isshin-ryū kusarigamajutsu and the {{navbox koryu}}

My inclination is to give the founding date as early as is (relatively) undisputed. That is, people dispute whether Nen Ami Jion actually founded the school, or was merely Tan Isshin's inspiration for the school whom he chose to credit as ryuso. On the the other hand, no one disputes that the school existed from the time of Tan Isshin onward. Therefore, I suggest we date the school to the time of Tan Isshin, until or unless some credible sources recognize its existence prior to Tan Isshin.

I suspect this is a similar situation to Daito-ryu, where the school claims a lineage going back to Minamoto Yoshimitsu (brother of Minamoto no Yoshiie) in the eleventh century, but no one had ever heard of the name "Daito-ryu" until the modern "reviver" Takeda Sokaku in the 19th and 20th centuries. So the Daito-ryu techniques may really have existed for 900 years, but the school was arguably not founded until the modern age. Others may feel differently, but where lineage is so important to people, I suggest we err on the side of making schools younger, rather than older. Bradford44 03:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tatsumi-ryū

Could you take a look at what's going on with this article? All of the IP edits up to this point come from the "Asia Pacific Network Information Centre". I have tagged the article with COI and NPOV, and it will probably need a bit of clean-up. --健次(derumi)^talk 08:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for checking on and weighing in on this article. --健次(derumi)^talk 18:32, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Niten Ichi-ryu

All we can do is police the article for POV, insist on citations, and hope for the best. Thanks for the heads-up, though. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on it. Bradford44 02:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aikido

Hi Fred. Well we are trying for Featured article status once again. Could yuou take a look?Peter Rehse 09:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

http://forum.budo.se/showthread.php?t=3014

I see you're talking about me again! One of the sword techniques for hoten ryu was put on- they had a few "stabs" at it without really knowing what it is. The one posted on the forum is actually a stab after a cut to the forearm. The picture makes it looks weird. Anyway, drop me a line. If there are any questions about Hoten Ryu, I can come on the forum and discuss them. It's an obscure "hillbilly" koryu bujutsu, but one non-the-less. :-) I'm thinking about sticking an article one here. Mekugi 19:33, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tatsumi-ryu references

Hi Fred,

I was just wondering why the change on the Tatsumi-ryu page from separate notes and sources (references) sections to a single references section. It seems as though this is at odds with many pages here (eg. TSKSR, Hontai Yoshin-ryu), and looks less 'academic' than it did before. As it is, the section now looks like a mixture of different styles of referencing. It seems to me that it would be better if these sections were separated again. Best, Srt27 (talk) 20:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tatsumi-ryu references

Hi Fred, Thanks for getting back to me. It is pretty normal practice in academic papers for the notes and the references to be separate. There is another way of doing notes (again pretty common) such that the full references are incorporated in them, but this seems to me to be less efficient for a situation like Wikipedia where there are likely to be multiple changes (since it might require changes to a number of the notes rather than just the one being added). So if it is OK with you I'll go ahead and change it back, as well as changing the name from 'sources' to 'references'. Best, Srt27 (talk) 21:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shintō Musō-ryū Jo Kata

Hello, Fred, this is German user Idler, main author of de:Jōdō. Please check your kanji edits in the okuden list of Shinto Muso ryu jo kata. I have the impression that there is a major mix-up in these kanji, e.g. Suigetsu should have the kanji for "water-moon", which are now shown as kanji for Kote garami, and Jutte should have the kanji for "ten-hand" which now are shown as kanji for Kote dome. (I don't have my kanji dictionary with me right now, so I am not able to do the corrections by myself. Greets - de:Idler 14:13, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Shintō Musō-ryū

The article Shintō Musō-ryū, for which you seem to be mainly responsible, is undergoing a review as part of the good article sweeps project. The article does not seem to meet current requirements for a good article. It has been put on hold for a week; if these issues are addressed satisfactorily within that period the article will be kept as a GA, otherwise it will be delisted.
